Colorful Wedding at the Tin Roof Barn, Washington
Colorful Tin Roof Barn Autumn Wedding
As a wedding photographer in Oregon, I have had the pleasure of capturing some truly magical celebrations, but Crystal and Brice’s wedding at The Tin Roof Barn was something out of a dream. Nestled in the breathtaking Columbia River Gorge, this October wedding was a kaleidoscope of color, warmth, and thoughtfully curated details—a perfect blend of elegance and autumnal charm.
A Perfect Fall Day at Tin Roof Barn
The Columbia Gorge in October is nothing short of enchanting. Crisp air, golden light, and a landscape painted in warm hues create the most picturesque backdrop. On this particular day in 2023, the weather gifted us with sunshine and a gentle warmth—exactly what every couple hopes for when planning a fall wedding in the Pacific Northwest.
As I arrived at The Tin Roof Barn, I was immediately struck by its rustic beauty. The venue, with its weathered wood beams, romantic chandeliers, and sprawling countryside views, felt like the perfect setting for Crystal and Brice’s elegant autumn soiree.
The Dreamiest Color Palette
Bridal Bliss worked their magic in coordinating every exquisite detail, and the result was a wedding that felt effortlessly refined and bursting with personality. Brier and Ivy’s floral artistry stole the show with an explosion of color—primarily in the form of cascading marigold garlands. These vibrant golden blooms draped from the barn beams, creating a whimsical and breathtaking ambiance. The floral arrangements were lush, lively, and full of texture, complementing the natural beauty of the venue without overshadowing it.
Everywhere I turned, I was met with bold hues and intricate details that wove together to create a striking and inviting atmosphere. From the tablescapes adorned with rich, autumnal tones to the carefully curated signage, everything felt intentional and cohesive.
A Ceremony to Remember
One of my favorite moments of the day was watching their dog, Nagbe, proudly strut down the aisle, earning delighted laughter and awws from the guests. Crystal and Brice’s ceremony was personal, intimate, and meaningful. As they exchanged vows in front of the most colorful flower altar, surrounded by their closest family and friends, the atmosphere was serene and heartfelt. It was one of those moments where time seemed to slow down, allowing everyone to fully soak in the significance of it all.
Golden Hour Perfection
After the ceremony, we stole away for golden hour portraits, and let me tell you—this was the kind of light photographers dream about. The sun dipped behind the hills, casting a warm, golden glow that highlighted the quiet ease between Crystal and Brice. They stood together, sharing a few peaceful moments before heading back to their celebration.
Their dynamic was comfortable and natural, and capturing their connection in such a stunning setting was a joy. The contrast between the rich autumn colors and the soft sunset light made every frame feel timeless.
A Celebration in Full Bloom
As the evening unfolded, guests dined under strings of twinkling lights, laughter echoing through the barn. The reception was a feast for the senses—delicious food, heartfelt toasts, and a dance floor that stayed busy all night long.
Crystal and Brice’s first dance was understated yet elegant. As the night progressed, guests joined in, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere that perfectly reflected the couple’s style.

Crystal and Brice’s wedding at The Tin Roof Barn was everything a fall wedding should be—warm, colorful, and beautifully executed.
